Our family of 6 had a perfect vacation in Dorado. We rented a van, which was key. We enjoyed a snorkeling trip and trips to Old San Juan as well as other hotels in San Juan.
Restaurants were average, but the pool & beach are perfect for a family. There are activities for the kids each day. There is a game room and ping pong. The weather was perfect. Warm, but a constant tropical breeze. The staff was always courteous. If you need to pick anything up, outside of the gated complex is a drug store, as well as numerous fast food restaurant chains.
The manager's reception was a perfect way to end the day at the beach. We look forward to returning to this hotel.

We stayed four nights at the resort. It was a very beautiful property with a lot to offer. While I wasn't able to enjoy any golf during this trip, the course itself looked great. The private beach area is very nice, and the pool area is fantastic. The room was large and the included hot breakfast buffett in the morning was good.

The hotel is beautiful and peaceful. The pool is very big although it was often full of kids. The beach is lovely and there are plenty of beach chairs for every one. The hotel lobby is typical Embassy Suites. The location is far from the hubub of San Juan which can be nice but really leaves you with only a few options for activity unless you want to deal with traffic and waste a good bit of time in your car. Also very limited choice of restaurants and no real shopping in the area. Great golf course though. The hotel has a three restaurants, one closes at 5:00pm, one isn't open on Mondays and Tuesdays, one has a pretty average menu--good but nothing to get excited about. There used to be some casinos in Dorado but they have long since closed--despite what some websites and guide books may tell you. If you stay here you will need a car or really want to just get away from everything.

We were there for 2 weeks in August and they were still filming the Chilean soap opera! Maybe it goes on forever! It was fun watching them set up the scenes and it did not interfere at all with our stay.

Lovely hotel, and the choices for restaurants in Dorado go on and on. We were a group of 7 and ate at a different place downtown every night. All restaurants in town were excellent offering the freshest seafood. Breakfast at Dorado is great, lunch by the pool is OK, dinner, eh, could do much better, go elsewhere. I don't golf, but the golf course is lovely and full of iquanas and birds. There is plenty resort area to walk around and see, they have children's activities and everyone is friendly. Only swim in the marked areas, or sea urchins can be underfoot. Bring your snorkel and some fish food to sprinkle and fish will swim all around you.

My only quibble is the location of the massage room -- they have tiny room stuck in the basement in the back of the icey, cold fitness room. The Embassy suites could surely afford to create a small spa area upstairs where you could soak and have a sunlit massage. It just seems cheesy to go for a massage in a dingy basement next to an underground garage & noisy game room. Come on, Embassy Suites, get with the Spa scene!
